All state and government tests should only be given in English. If they need a translator, it is at their expense, not ours. As for hospitals, many apps are available that do real time translating. Speak French (or almost any language) into it, and it will speak out the English (or other language) translation.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order requiring truck drivers to pass English literacy tests, which will bolster road safety, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump will sign an "order directing the Department of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers. This is a big problem in the trucking community," Leavitt said on Monday afternoon during a press conference with new members of the media. The press conference was separate from a White House press briefing earlier Monday morning.

Trump is expected to sign the executive order late Monday afternoon, Leavitt said.

"President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs; communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel; and provide and receive feedback and directions in English," the White House official shared.

Truckers who are unable to prove they are proficient in English will be "placed out-of-service, enhancing roadway safety," according to the White House.

Fox News' Will Cain reported earlier in April on "The Will Cain Show" that trucking experts reported that there has been an influx of foreign-born truckers in recent years.

Cain, citing experts, reported that former President Barack Obama's administration in 2016 stopped an English requirement for drivers from being enforced, while the Biden-Harris administration in 2024 promoted an initiative that increased truck driving training opportunities for refugees, which has increased the number of foreign-born truck drivers operating in the U.S.
